A tale of a hard life, an untraceable life, no contact with the outside world most of the time - three men whose whole life is wedded to a cause - to death untraceable - the fear, the pain, the panic almost, of being caught, being eliminated, but nonetheless the utter devotion to what and who they are. Kalitin to the lethal poison Neophyte, Pastor Travnicek convinced that something would happen through him to sort out the troubles of the world, and Shershnev on a different side but equally convinced his way was the only way. The story weaves its way through the minds of these three men and holds you transfixed whilst you follow their thoughts, movements, actions.
